Human machine interface

Given the harsh surroundings of industrial environments, human machine interface (HMI) devices with terminal, display, button, acoustic or signal lamp character must be particularly robust. On the one hand, it has to be easy to operate. On the other hand, it should offer different access options, and the price performance ratio must be good. Ideally, all components can be sourced from a single source to ensure that the microcontroller, memory, power supply, communications and safety equipment all work together smoothly. Infineon offers a full-spectrum portfolio of high-quality solutions for all of your human machine interface requirements.

Infineon’s memory portfolio has evolved to a broad range of products best suited for industrial HMI applications including NOR Flash, pSRAM, SRAM, nvSRAM, and F-RAM with memory densities from 4 Kbit to 4 Gbit. The differentiated portfolio of volatile and non-volatile memories includes the SEMPER™ family of secure and reliable NOR Flash, the EXCELON™ family of ultra-low power, high-performance, and reliable F-RAM products, and our HYPERBUS™ interface-based HYPERFLASH™ NOR Flash and HYPERRAM™ pSRAM memories.

Thanks to state-of-the-art sensor technologies, Infineon is the market leader in capacitive and inductive sensor applications. With its industry-leading CAPSENSE™ capacitive and inductive sensors, Infineon offers sensing solutions that provide the robustness and intelligence that industrial and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications require. CAPSENSE capacitive sensing can be used for applications that require touch buttons, sliders, wheels, trackpads, and touchscreens. It offers advanced features such as proximity sensing, hover and glove touch, fluid tolerance, and fluid level sensing. In addition, CAPSENSE provides an intelligent smart sensing algorithm that compensates for environmental and manufacturing variations. Inductive sensing can be used in applications that require metal detection. Applications that require detection through high-quality metal coatings, water-proofing, rotary and linear encoder functionality, and proximity sensing, can be designed using inductive sensing.

As security becomes increasingly important, Infineon is leading the way with semiconductors that are unmatched in embedded security. Our M2M-optimized microcontrollers, the OPTIGA™ embedded security solutions, help secure communication between devices such as production and HMI equipment connected via internet in an industrial environment.
Dedicated application know-how and proven outstanding technical expertise ensure that your HMI is in good hands with Infineon.
